Mattmu to Stand at Bearstone Stud For 2022

Group 2 winner Mattmu (GB) (Indesatchel {Ire}), who was born and raised at Bearstone Stud, will stand there for £2,500 (Oct. 1st SLF) in 2022. Successful in the G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte and G3 Phoenix Sprint, the bay was also third in the G1 Nunthorpe S. at York. From a select first crop of foals, Mattmu has a pair of winners from five runners, and one of his winners, Favourite Child (GB), ran second at listed level in France.

Terry Holdcroft, owner of Bearstone Stud, commented, “Mattmu has impressed us with the quality of his stock and his

early results indicate that he is capable of upgrading his mares. We are delighted to welcome him back to the stud where he was born and believe he deserves the opportunity to cover a larger book of mares and build on his early success.”

He is joined by Group 1 winner and sire Dream Ahead and Washington DC (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}).
